Welcome to fourth grade! I am so thrilled to be your child’s teacher! I have been at Houston Elementary since 2016.

Here’s a little bit about me. I’m a native of Arizona. I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from the University of Phoenix and enjoyed a career in Actuarial and Accounting Services prior to working with children. Then in 2006, I had the opportunity to volunteer at the East Valley Child Crisis Center. It was a heartfelt experience. The kids were amazing and inspired me to follow my heart! In 2008, I completed my Master’s program in Elementary Education, Curriculum & Instruction, from Arizona State University. Since then, I have been working with children and have loved every minute of it! Fourth grade is the best!!!

I believe in working collaboratively with my parents! Parents are essential and instrumental in their child’s education journey, as well as to the teacher. Your child is a unique individual with special qualities and needs; therefore, the more resources accessible to them, the more successful they will be. Please do not hesitate to contact me: my door is always open. I can't wait to partner with you in working with your child!
